No. In fact, it's not what you feel when you drink Pro, it's what you don't feel... i.e. fatigue, tired, worn down. Rather than pump you up with stimulants like caffeine and sugar (as some other energy drinks and sports supplements do) Pro provides energy in its purest form. Subsequently, there is no "crash" associated with drinking Pro. What you will notice is your body continuing to perform at the peak of your ability and your mind able to remain focused over a longer period of time.

Amino acids are simply the building blocks of all proteins. By ingesting protein in its simplest form, you save your body a step in the digestion process, absorbing it more quickly than a heavy protein bar or shake, realizing the benefits more quickly. For more about amino acids, see our Science section.

While it takes training, practice and experience to improve your skill level, Pro helps you perform better by helping you maintain focus and promoting muscle recovery and repair, allowing you to deliver your best more often. The net result is a longer duration of peak performance, less downtime and fewer errors, resulting in a more consistent performance day in and day out.

Pro helps you get the most out of your training and practice by accelerating muscle recovery and delivering a powerful dose of muscle energy and mental focus. This increase in muscle energy enhances your performance so you can triumph over the competition.

During exercise, major and rapid changes occur in the muscle’s amino acids. These changes play an important role in a complex biochemical chain reaction that can result in fatigue during prolonged exercise. Pro’s unique formula helps you maintain a high concentration of amino acids that supply fuel for the biochemical process, which builds muscle and prevents fatigue during exercise, allowing you to recover more quickly.

While Pro is used by hundreds of professional athletes from runners and triathletes to body builders and golfers, many amateurs also use Pro. Our customers tell us they enjoy the added benefits over typical sports drinks as well as its affordability, costing less per serving than your typical bottled water or sports/energy drink.

Amino Vital® products contain AJIPURE, the highest-quality pharmaceutical grade amino acids (between 99%-100% pure) available anywhere. Our parent company Ajinomoto was one of the first to make pharmaceutical-grade amino acids, literally inventing the process and is currently the global leader in the research, production and sales of amino acids. AJIPURE amino acids are widely used in intravenous solutions, infant formulas, prescription medications and other specialty medical products.

Yes, every production batch from each Amino vital® product is analyzed and certified by the BSCG (Banned Substance Control Group). The BSCG is an independent organization which assists responsible dietary supplement manufacturers who wish to ensure that their products do not contain dangerous banned substances.

Amino Vital® ships a sample of each batch to a state-of-the-art anti-doping research laboratory that has been designated by the BSCG. The laboratory analyzes the sample for over 160 substances that are banned by sports organizations such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Football League (NFL), and many other professional and amateur sports leagues. A product that bears the BSCG seal lets the customer know that the product has received BSCG Certification and that no banned substances were found above detection limits.

Amino Vital® has also been approved for use by the USOC and the PGA.
